Waves of Film Festivities

MORE SURFING MOVIES, YES!

I found this amazing discovery a few weeks ago. (Hmm, found a discovery, bit redundant.) 

I was contemplating going to the Tribeca Film Festival and I saw that a surfing documentary was playing. That is not the most awesome part! In my little interweb search, I found that New York has a whole film festival  devoted just to surfing films! What!?

The  New York Surf Film Festival is happening in September. This coming fall will be the 4th annual one. Wish I had known about it for the past three years. They are still accepting submissions through May 15th. So the schedule of films playing will probably be released sometime in the summer.  

Very very psyched about this. I'll keep you in the loop when the dates and films are officially announced. 


Also if you can make it to Tribeca this week, check out the documentary Splinters. There are two more showings- Thursday at 8:30 and Saturday at 2:30. Check out the trailer on the post below this one(because for whatever reason, the video doesn't want to be in this post). It looks really interesting though! Ticket info here

Surfing Movies Are Swelling Up

I have yet to see this movie, but fear not I will soon! It is based on the shark attack of surfer Bethany Hamilton and the book she wrote about it. I read the book last summer before I knew it was going to be a movie. It is a pretty inspiring story and an uplifting read. So see it!
Also, another surfing movie is premiering at Tribeca Film Festival this month. Speaking of surfing films and New York, I made a wonderful discovery which I will share soon.
